2002

minicom (1.83.1-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * src/main.c: for LCK files, use the whole path minus /dev/ and
     replace slashes with underscores (closes: #153933).
   * Set Uploaders field to contain me and Jordi Mallach

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>  Wed, 31 Jul 2002 20:57:08 +0200

minicom (1.83.1-4.6) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/{config,rules,templates}: remove all the stuff about the
     Meta-Key setting. It's wrong and unneeded, as the default can be set
     very easily using minicom -s (closes: #116928).

 -- Jordi Mallach <jordi@debian.org>  Fri, 26 Jul 2002 17:09:58 +0200

2001

minicom (1.83.1-4.5) unstable; urgency=low

   * Looks like dpkg won't update directory permissions on upgrades, so
     the "wrong perms on examples dir" bug wasn't getting fixed if -4.4
     wasn't a new install.
   * debian/postinst: chmod 755 /usr/share/doc/minicom/examples
     (closes: #112258).
   * debian/menu: fix location of xminicom (closes: #119861).
   * src/xminicom: use x-terminal-emulator as first option. It won't set
     background or anything else than the window title (policy only asks
     that -e and -T are implemented). Use Xresources to customize.

 -- Jordi Mallach <jordi@debian.org>  Tue, 20 Nov 2001 22:27:46 +0100

minicom (1.83.1-4.4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Non-Maintainer Upload.
   * debian/postinst: applied patch from Gergely Nagy so postinst doesn't
     add "Meta" lines to minirc.dfl each time minicom is upgraded
     (closes: #112389).
   * debian/{config,templates}: removed debconf notes about conffile moving,
     too much verbosity... (closes: #113202)
   * debian/templates.de: added German translation of debconf templates;
     thanks Sebastian Fetel (closes: #113487).
   * debian/rules: merge templates and install them in the target dir.
   * debian/control: added debconf-utils to Build-Depends.

 -- Jordi Mallach <jordi@debian.org>  Mon, 8 Oct 2001 00:45:59 +0200

minicom (1.83.1-4.3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Non-Maintainer Upload.
   * Applied patch from Neal Walfield which fixes compilation issues for
     GNU/Hurd (closes: #106444).
   * debian/rules: create /usr/share/doc/minicom/examples with correct
     permissions (closes: #112258).

 -- Jordi Mallach <jordi@debian.org>  Sat, 15 Sep 2001 15:54:24 +0200

minicom (1.83.1-4.2) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Non-Maintainer Upload.
   * Cleaning up the mess with some upgrades to -4.1:
     + debian/preinst:
       - fix the "mv" statement, making it not fail if there are no minirc
         files to move.
       - if during this upgrade, previous version was -4.1, check if
         /etc/minicom/minirc.dfl and /etc/minicom/minicom.users exist. If they
         do, probably the user moved them by hand after the upgrade, so copy
         the /etc ones to /etc/minicom/ with an .old suffix. Same if
         the files exist only in /etc (corner case if people reran apt).
     + debian/postrm: rmdir /etc/minicom after we've done the move of stuff
       to the old location.
     Hopefully, all of this closes: #110838.

 -- Jordi Mallach <jordi@debian.org>  Sat, 1 Sep 2001 14:55:15 +0200

minicom (1.83.1-4.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Non-Maintainer-Upload, approved by Miquel.
   * Fixed minicom's build problems:
     + debian/control: added Build-Dependency on gettext.
     + src/po/ja.po: changed charset to euc-jp.
     + src/po/Makefile: removed ko.mo and ja_JP.SJIS.mo from CATALOGS.
       About ja_JP.SJIS.mo, GOTO Masanori, a Japanese GNU translation
       team member said that "ja_JP.SJIS should die". Not a real fix, but
       the po maintainers have been contacted. If you're Korean and know
       how to fix the ko.po, please do so and send a bug report. Thanks.
     + while we are at it, move fi_FI.po to fi.po.
     + and hey, I found a Czech po in Minicom's webpage.
   * Minicom is FHS compliant since February (closes: #102443).
   * debian/conffiles:
     + removed /etc/minirc.dfl, which is modified by scripts, regenerated
       by minicom every now and then and raped by policy-violating monkeys.
     + move /etc/minicom.users to /etc/minicom.
   * debian/postinst:
     + rewrote it in shell.
     + kill the code which moved these files from /var/lib/minicom to /etc.
       I have checked all Debian releases from Buzz to Potato and these have
       never been in that location at release time.
     + remove cruft handled by Debconf (closes: #57263).
     + if /etc/minicom/minirc.dfl doesn't exist, copy the one in
       /usr/share/doc/minicom/examples.
   * debian/preinst: if upgrading from previous versions to this one, move
     minicom files in /etc to /etc/minicom (closes: #88660).
   * debian/postrm:
     + purge debconf's db changes.
     + restore /etc files if abort-install|abort-upgrade.
     + rm -rf /etc/minicom on purge.
   * debian/{config,templates}: added Debconf scripts and templates.
   * debian/rules:
     + install debconf files in the package.
     + install minirc.dfl in /usr/share/doc/minicom/examples.
